From today, fans can dip their toes in the magical kingdom of Majin in the original standalone Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom Facebook game.

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom for Facebook is a fun and easy to play platform and puzzle game centred around the game’s principle of friendship. Choose six of your Facebook friends, then save them from terrible enemies and frightening obstacles using either the mouse or keyboard over two lively, timed levels. In between the levels, a timed puzzle challenges you to match up five sets of three faces or objects on a grid. The beautiful, hand-drawn art style of the Facebook game is based on the original artwork created for the full game, creating a beguiling backdrop to the fun action.

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 creates a new fusion of cooperative stealth and action as the player takes the role of the game's hero to fight alongside the AI-controlled monster Majin. Obstacles and adversaries can be overcome only by combining his bulk, strength and ever-evolving abilities with the player’s smaller size, speed and cunning.

Over thirty hours of gameplay will take the player seamlessly through the vast and colourful open world and its many rich character interactions, with the constantly evolving gameplay and absorbing storyline of the game keeping the player under its spell throughout.

Help save the Forsaken Kingdom: become a fan and friend of Majin and play the game today on the Facebook page.
